Spike Myers, son of Mike Myers…. oh boy. If he wanted his son named for him, maybe Mike Jr. would have been a little less pet-like (I’m saying this, and am not a fan of juniors at all!)

thats just sad people calling there kid such a awful name, like really that child has to grow up and be in school with kids, and theres always a class bully or a few, and i bet the kid called “spike” will be made fun of just for his name. Some actors shouldnt be allowed to have kids, specially if they cant choose a normal name for them.

I had a cat named Spike. Spike is a cartoon dog in the Looney Tunes. Oh well, to each his own. I’ve always liked the name Fido. Maybe if I have another boy, that’s what I’ll name him.

Spike is an old English name. Relax people. If you new your cultural history youd know that. we actually considered it for our son but instead went with an old Irish name instead.

maybe they named him michael and just plan on calling him spike.

that would be way better.

Jennifer Moynihan

I agree it is a highly unusual name; perhaps they chose it to honour Spike Milligan. Mike Myers has paid homage to his British roots in many ways in the past and I suspect that is what is behind the name choice as well.

Stella Bella

Let I remind people that Spike isn’t just a dogs name, Spike Jones is a perfectly wonderful name, and Mike has always been the find of guy who’s kinda been orginal. Maybe spike was nickname in the family? Who knows…. but seriously it’s just a name.

Congratulations to Mike And Kelly :)

Mike and Spike…..what’s the boy’s middle name…Rover?

Why do these Hollywood celebs think it is cool to burden their offspring with idiotic names they are saddled with for the rest of their lives? What is wrong with the MOTHER???

People, who made you the judge? Mike & Kelly didn’t ASK for own opinions on the name. It’s none of our business if we like it or not. So I hope people were nice about it. But as always, people have to be mean because they hide behind their keyboards and think they can say anything they want.

on September 29th, 2011

My dog’s name and my neighbor’s dog’s name. Does he want his kid to be taken seriously? I thought this might be the nickname. Apparently neither of them picked up a baby name book – maybe they can’t read. Not very mature. Why not just name the kid Shrek or something stupid like that.

Jill Conner

Spike is the ugliest kid name I ever heard in my life. It reminds me of a dog, or a 13 year old, school drop out, street gang member and that’s just his nickname. I can’t imagine a baby being called “Spike.” Or, even dumber – a doctor or lawyer named Spike. Mike Myers turned out to be an idiot. I haven’t liked him since his left his lovely wife for a blond, half his age.

Come on people! Has nobody ever heard of the famous directors Spike Lee or Spike Jonze? Just because you hear the name commonly for a dog or cat doesn’t mean squat. You should really read up on your English history before opening your mouth unless you like to appear uncultured.

Also, your opinion on a child’s name really does not matter because it isn’t your child and has no affect whatsoever on your life. Just get over whatever hangups you may have about the name Spike and just congratulate the new parents.

As off-the-wall as the name Spike is, I gotta say I prefer it over some made-up or crazily misspelled name. At least it’s a real name/word. While it will always be a conversation piece for the guy, at least there will be no doubt as to what he’s saying or how to spell it. Congrats to the family!!

Chrissy

It’s not the worst name out there, especially from celebs. I’m surprised at how many people on here actually sound mad at their choice. It’s not like they just named your kid. It’s Mike Myers…. Is it really that shocking?

Leslee
on September 29th, 2011

~bronwyn Please try to get a grip on yourself while you are chastising the rest of us uninformed people that have failed to memorize every old name known to all cultures.

By your logic, an old English name of Studs would be great, too. “Hey, Stud boy, how you doin’?” Let’s call a child Garfield and have everyone try not to conjure up a contentious lazy cat with a taste for lasagna.

Well I send my congrats to a fellow Canuck, Spike, really? Sorry but that’s stupid name for a kid. It’s either a nickname or a name suited for a dog. ;)

I love how people complain about unique names. While I would never choose the name Spike for my child, it’s much better than Earl, Penelope, Lola… Sure, Michael, Emily, James, Elizabeth are beautiful names, but everyone has them! Some people would rather think outside the box and not give there kid the same name to share with two other children in their class. How many people have an aunt/sister named Carol, Susan, Jessica, or Jennifer? Oh and lets not forget all of the Uncle John’s out there.

MollyF
on September 30th, 2011

cara, I think that might be it. I think Mike was a fan of The Goon Show, which Spike Milligan was a member of (along with Peter Sellers). I know Mike loves a lot of British humor. That would be a good name to honor one of the best (and underrated IMHO) British comedic actors.

Seriously ?

SPIKE ? What a dumb name !

Was he watching a “BUFFY” marathon non-stop and thought it would be a good name for his kid ? YEESH !

Michael Jr., Sean or Peter would have been a good name..not something one would put for a dog or a evil vampire.

What IS going on in those celebs heads ??!!! Sticking their kids with stupid names that the kid(s) will have to live with for the rest of their lives….like Apple, Pilot Inspektor, Moon Unit…

Well, at least it’s not Shrek.
